Union High

Summary:

Union High is a public high school located in Roosevelt, Utah, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,153 students. The school is part of the Duchesne District, which is ranked 68 out of 98 districts in Utah and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Academically, Union High's performance, as measured by the Utah Aspire Plus assessments, is consistently below the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 32% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 44.6%. In mathematics, the proficiency rates for 10th-grade students were even lower, with only 14% meeting or exceeding the standard, compared to the state average of 27.5%. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as White students and low socioeconomic status (SES) students, is also below the state averages.

Interestingly, Altamont High, another school in the Duchesne District, has consistently outperformed Union High in academic assessments and has a higher overall SchoolDigger rating. Additionally, Uintah River High, a public charter school located closer to Union High, has a significantly different student population, with a much higher percentage of Native American students (82.67%) and lower overall academic performance. These comparisons highlight the unique challenges and opportunities that Union High faces in serving its diverse student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
